It's awesome. And I know this because I'VE actually read it. :-)<3August 28, 2015
A year has passed since Sunny discovered she was part of a magical society known as the Leopard People. Along with her best friends, Orlu, Sasha and Chichi, they formed the youngest Oha Coven ever, fighting an evil entity wrecking havoc on their community.Now a little older, and a bit more experienced, each of the four kids have been selected by a powerful Leopard mentor to oversee their studies and continue strengthening their powers.Sunny's mentor, Sugar Cream, is a wise older woman, who is to...
After finding myself disappointed with the lack of character and plot development in Akata Witch, along with the rushed ending, I read the sequel in hopes I would enjoy it more. I didn't. I hate leaving negative reviews, but I do not understand how so much went unnoticed in the editing process. The plot is all over the place and the world the author is creating is poorly explained. Some of the scenes are really poorly written, for example paragraphs like "Orlu looked at Sasha, Chichi looked at O...
3 stars for the story; 4 stars for the writing and the wonderful creativity - 3.5 stars overallThis is another difficult book to rate. For me, while this sequel to Akata Witch is every bit as creative and experiential as its predecessor, the actual story of Akata Warrior didn't resonate with me quite the same.There were parts I absolutely loved, like the confrontation with the boys at the university and Sunny's subsequent time being punished in the library basement. At the same time, much of the...
Ahoy there me mateys! This book is the second of the Akata Witch duology. While I try to post no spoilers, if ye haven’t read the akata witch then ye have been forewarned and continue at yer own peril . . .This story continues the adventures of Sunny, a girl born in the U.S. but who currently lives with her family in Nigeria. A year has passed. Sunny is still dealing with the revelation that she has the magical powers of the Leopard People and with the effort of keeping that secret from her fami...
I was fortunate to receive an Advance Reader Copy of this book.4.5 StarsIt's no secret that Nnedi Okorafor has become one of my favorite authors over the past couple of years. The richly envisioned world that she has built in stories like Binti and Akata Witch leave me enthralled in a way few authors of fantasy can and have done. I was so excited to receive an ARC of Akata Warrior. I read Akata Witch after I discovered Binti and was sad that there had been no follow-up, since Akata Witch was wri...
Alice Walker writes, “What is always needed in the appreciation of art, or life, is the larger perspective. Connections made, or at least attempted, where none existed before, the straining to encompass in one’s glance at the varied world the common thread, the unifying theme through the immense diversity, a fearlessness of growth, of search. Of looking, that enlarges the private and the public world.” Later, in the same essay, Prof. Walker says, “To take Toni Morrison’s statement further, if th...
Wow! Loved this one even more than the first one. There's so much here about the world and all the relationships that we didn't get in the first one. I'm so glad I finally got around to continuing this series!A year and a half has passed since Sunny first learned she was a magic Leopard Person in Nigeria and took on the challenges that came with that. Since then, she's had a lot of trouble keeping things from her family, but they're learning to accept that she's different in ways she can't talk
It's good to be back, Akata Warrior is a stellar follow up. Everything is a grand improvement (yes, that's even possible). I love everything about it: the mythology, and world building. Of course, the characters ARE MY CHILDREN. They give the story a vibrant ambiance that makes this series an enjoyable ride. The best part of reading Akata Witch is the nostalgic vibe. I feel homesick in a good way, it's like coming back after being lost elsewhere. I would've given it 5 stars if only the last 100
Where have all the editors gone?Sadly, this book was flashes, and drags. Flashes, and draaaaags. And then a dragging, dragging flash to finish it off.It took me three tries to get through the climax. (view spoiler)[That's what she said. I'm sorry. (hide spoiler)]I still like the world, though I felt it was much more obscured this time by chronicling Sunny's every thought, feeling, and eye blink. And sometimes reiterating them. The books, the spirits, the juju... none of it is delved into. It's a...
I have been eagerly anticipating this release ever since first reading Akata Witch, which sent me down the Okorafor rabbit hole, reading everything she's published. And I reread AW before diving into this one as it had been 6 years since I first started on that journey. This, though, didn't quite hit the same high notes the first book did for me. There was *a lot* of recap throughout the book, which may have been ok if I hadn't just reread it, but as such it really slowed down the book for me. I...
